Did anyone find family med to be extremely competitive this year? I applied for both IM and family, with family as my backup. But surprisingly I had more interviews for IM than I did for family. Just wondering if anybody else noticed that too.

I think Family Medicine is getting more competitive year after year, specially with more focus on primary care nowadays.
However, I still think Internal Medicine is still more competitive, specially because of the more fellowship options. Perhaps your profile was more geared toward Internal Medicine and that's why you got more IM interviews. - |

Alot of people I know didn't get FM interviews because they only had IM LoRs.
You NEED 1 LoR in FM to apply to the FM programs or they know your doing it as a backup |

I'd agree that its getting more competitive. But then again, hasn't it always been?
FM has had quite the selective criteria in terms of everything besides scores (which is becoming more apparent now because I've seen programs asking for a minimum score of median, no fails etc.), this means USCE, LORs, etc. My crystal ball tells me they're making it catered for Carib grads that fulfill requirements quite substantially majority of the time.

So it is all relative, the best way to do it is work hard, chase your goals and stay focus. I hope it was helpful, GL
